Stock Enkeis are 16x6.5 with 55 offset. I have 18's with a 52 offset. Usually 48 or greater is best - but some members have as low as 42.

225/40/18 tires
i have a 48 offset on mine
50 and UP offset is safe to bet, in general.

Hey TL Daddy, I noticed in you mods list that you have 18x7.5 w/52mm offset and 225/45 tires. Is there room, inside and out, to fit 235/40 or 245/40 tires on your wheels? If not, can you say, with some certainty, that they'll fit with a higher offset?

Actually, 215/45/18's are the best size to match the overall diameter of the stock wheels/tires, but there arent a lot of companies that make that size

Actually, TL Daddy, 235/40x18 and 245/40x18 is VERY close to the original size diameter. What I'm asking is, since you have a pretty high offset(52mm), do you have room under your fenderwell to fit a wider tire?

OK TL Daddy, now we know you have about a finger space at the fenderwell. I have 2 more questions for you. 1. Did you roll your fenderwell? and 2. How much clearance do you have inside? The second answer will tell me if a larger offset will work. Thanks!

2. Plenty. Although I've never measured, my tires don't rub or contact the inner fender well.
